New to the Forum.......First thougnts of my C63

Hi Everyone

Just picked up my new C63 this week. The car is awesome. I am thrilled so far. The low end torque is mind blowing as is passing on the highway. It has been wet and raining all week here; I turned the ESP off and all I can say is WOW. Very unstable.........in a good way! Heart rate went up and a huge grin formed on my face. Here are some pics to start. Sorry for the "dirty" shots but it has been raining all week and I haven't had the chance to wash her yet.

Congrats! Where in Canada are you from? What year is that? Cant go wrong with white, have loads of fun, but as stated before, get to know this monster before you start venturing with ESP off, there have been a few members here who found out the hard way with some pretty good damage from spinning out.

Rain + no ESP = future thread about car carnage

Enjoy the car though. Love mine.

thanks for the advice. thankfully, i was lucky enough to have a similar powered car before this monster which took a lot more skill to power slide!

the rs4 was incredible. i won't go on about it in a mercedes forum.

i love the c63. trying to follow the break-in rules so i haven't opened her up completely yet.

the low end torque is better. the exhaust sound is just as good. steering is awesome. love the look of my white c63; don't see many around which is important to me. interior is ok esthetically. GPS, i-pod, bluetooth work great. like the steering wheel better. i do miss the manual transmission though.

most importantly, i have a huge grin on my face everytime i press the gas pedal.
